Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

that middle one sorta kinda looks like a CL - it is a mutt - it has barred rock, rhode island red and red laced blue (or blue laced red??) wyandotte in it
That mutt looks to be a female, although I can't see if it has a nice "V" on the top of the head, the eyeliner is very distinct. You might have made a autosexing by accident... I am just getting into the genetics, so don't shoot me if I am wrong. I think it is related to the wild type that creates those little chipmunks and the crossing with a barred type that makes it autosexing. The more distinct the markings, the more likely female. Again, I am only guessing since I am just starting into the chicken genetics world. I should have paid more attention in my genetics classes in college...

I am told its a beautiful Saturday in the Philippines today.

Sunshine and a nice onshore breeze. High of 84 expected.

Its also a busy day.

We are playing musical coops.

We have a good supply of BBS Orps hatched or hatching. The same goes with mutts, white leghorns and eggs from blue egg laying mutts.

I had all of them pulled and put in a large general coop.

I have a Breda Fowl trio that will go in one coop.

That gives us 3 open coops.

Bernie is converting the breezeway between two sets of coops into a basic coop for the guineas.








Then we will have four...

That should buy time till the pigs get their new home and I can repurpose 3 pig pens

Our other issue is that we have 8 pink baskets that hold 15-18 eggs that fit in the hatcher but have 250+ eggs all hatching together in 8 days

how about mesh bags? I understand old timers used to use them to keep chicks separated until they could be toe punched or banded
